Exactly. This. ^. After all, a print book doesn't tell you X of Y unless you do the same thing. Flip to the back, see how many pages there are, etc.

I understand the progress thing. Makes perfect sense to me. Or, X minutes remaining in this book. What I don't get is the page numbers thing, versus Locations, or the "page numbers" created, on the fly, by other devices, that are just as fake as Location numbers. That's kind of my question. Is it because they are called "pages?"
